Commissioned art of pets, buildings, portraits, and landscapes are possible. First, contact me to discuss the nature of the work. From there we can take photographic references. I have worked from photographs given to me, but I need to view them before I can say that I will be able to use them. Ideally, I would view the subject and take my own photographs and sketches. From these photos I will prepare color studies. Once I have your approval, I will continue with the final painting. I can usually finish a commissioned piece in 1 to 2 months. A 1/3 deposit is requested at the time of the commission. At that time a general timeframe for completion and delivery of the artwork is established. Final payment is due at delivery and approval.

I also paint murals. During college I worked for the UW-Madison Theatre Department for four years as a scene painter giving me a great deal of experience painting on a large scale.

If you have any interest in a commissioned painting or mural, please contact me, and I will be pleased to discuss the job with you. Go to contact page to reach me.

Sincerely,

Joe Kiefer
